David Hine and Shaky Kane Dig in for Bulletproof Coffin: Giant! Cease to Exist – Resurrecting the Acclaimed Odyssey of Surreal Superheroes at Oni Press

Oni Press has announced the long-awaited return of comics’ insidiously enthralling and potently psycho-active indie comics masterwork in Bulletproof Coffin: Giant! Cease to Exist – a brand-new, 72-page dose of surreal superheroes and addictive ideas reuniting original series creators David Hine and Shaky Kane in comic shops and book stores everywhere in January 2027! Continuing the semi-ongoing series of pseduo-psychedelic adventures that began with 2011’s landmark, self-titled Bullerproof Coffin series at Image Comics, Giant! Cease to Exist will mark the first new installment in Hine and Kane’s radical deconstruction of comics’ Silver Age sense of self since 2021… and mark the series’ official debut at Oni Press, where the publisher will begin collecting the complete Bullerproof Coffin saga to date beginning in 2028. 

Inside the pages of the hyper-fictional Golden Nugget Comics imprint, a war is being waged with weapons of technological control by the Sons of Technarchy, a cabal of hyper-intelligent, all-powerful trillionaires who treat entire realities as disposable playthings. Standing in their way is an unlikely last line of defense: The brave but bizarre heroes known as Eye-We-I, Scarlet Spook, Ramona—Queen of the Stone Age, Red Wraith, Coffin Fly, the Shield of Justice, and more! But as the battle for existence rages, a mind-bending meta-twist unfolds—Hine and Kane themselves are drawn into the chaos, forced to confront their own demons as creators on the brink. Cosmic, chaotic, and wildly imaginative, Bulletproof Coffin: Giant! is a genre-smashing spectacle that blurs the line between fiction and reality.

Hine and Kane first introduced readers to the “Ficto-Verse” in 2011’s The Bulletproof Coffin, the initial six-issue miniseries which followed comic book collector Steve Neyman as he uncovers a strange connection between real life and obscure, pulp-style vintage comics. The second story arc expanding the “Ficto-Verse” appeared in 2012’s The Bulletproof Coffin: Disinterred and was followed by the 2017 one-shot Bulletproof Coffin: The Thousand Yard Stare, a meta-sequel in which Hine and Kane first became characters in their own psychedelic universe. Bulletproof Coffin: Giant! Cease to Exist will be the first new story in the Bulletproof Coffin world since two short stories in 2021’s Kane & Abel one-shot, as well as the first to be published by Oni Press.

Oni Press will release David Hine and Shaky Kane’s Bulletproof Coffin: Giant! Cease to Exist on January 12, 2027 – featuring a standard cover by Kane, alongside limited-edition variants by Rául Allen and Alex Diotto.

James Harvey, David Hine, Max Prentis, Micah Myers, and Mick Gray bring Pete Townshend’s Life House to comics

Image Comics has announced the forthcoming original graphic novel, Pete Townshend’s Life House, based on rock music legend Townshend’s 1970 screenplay and related materials of the same name, which in turn went on to inspire The Who’s 1971 globally bestselling and universally beloved album, Who’s Next. It is set to hit shelves in December.

This graphic novelization of Townshend’s story is co-written by Doom Patrol‘s James Harvey and Spider-Man Noir‘s David Hine with art by both Harvey and Australian visual artist Max Prentis, lettering by Micah Myers, and inks by Eisner Award winning artist Mick Gray. It is edited by the former Managing Editor of Heavy Metal Magazine, Hannah Means-Shannon, and will showcase a massive Vinyl LP format (12.25″ x 12.25″).

This is a must-have for any serious music collectors, rock fans, and pop culture aficionados!

Set in a Dystopian future where music has been outlawed, Pete Townshend’s Life House follows a small band of rebels who stage an underground concert in an effort to undermine a tyrannical leader… and free Britain and all of humanity from a grisly fate.

Several members from the graphic novel team will attend this year’s New York Comic Con for a live panel discussing the project, with Townshend scheduled to join via Zoom.

Originally envisioned as a sci-fi rock epic to follow-up The Who’s rock opera, Tommy, and put aside 50 years ago—in favor of releasing some of the project’s songs on Who’s Next like “Baba O’Riley,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” and “Behind Blue Eyes”—Pete Townshend’s Life House will finally take center stage.

Pete Townshend’s Life House hardcover edition (ISBN: 978-1-5343-9760-6, Lunar Code 1023IM250) and Pete Townshend’s Life House hardcover edition w/slipcase (ISBN: 978-1-5343-9759-0, Lunar Code 1023IM251) will be available at independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and Indigo on Tuesday, December 5 and local comic book shops on Wednesday, December 6.

Extremely limited editions of the graphic novel, signed by Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are available exclusively from Tower Records at TowerRecords.com.
